course appears to be undergoing a change. all the posts from the old layout have been removed. the only posts i found were hole 1 which was by where hole 4 used to be and hole 9 which was near where hole 5 or 6 was. will contact parks department to see if they are just moving the holes around or if they are pulling the course.

Course has been redesigned to a more legitimate course. only 9 holes but cement tees are being put in and chainstar baskets are being placed. as the course gets changed itll be easier to navigate and a fun play. by next year this course will be a more visible course in the lakeshore area

COURSE UPDATED. Ross Park Disc Golf Course now has 10 Discraft Chainstar double chain baskets for 9 holes of play and 1 practice basket at the start. Course has nicely cleared fairways throughout the woods with a badass view of the Muskegon Country Airport on a couple holes. Benches, garbage cans, and cement tee-pads comings soon!!!

Great layout with each hole having different lanes, bends and pin placements. I could not believe how clean the fairways were of sticks, brush and stumps with just opening. First time through you need to walk ahead to find pins because most are blind or tucked tight against smaller trees! Great upgrade and appreciate all the efforts to bring a quality round to Norton Shores.

This course overall is a great variety of throwing options. However it would be amazing if they could add more holes to make it larger and have tee's showing where to start and a map indicating where you are going.

It's an excellent balance between a difficult wood course and an boring field course. However, none of the tees are visible from the pads, nor are maps included for this course so include time for walking each fairway to scout it out. The woods a thick layer of leaves throughout the year so hooking a disc under the leaves is a risk, be careful!

Short and technical. Great for practicing your mid range controlled shots. Also, next to a baseball field for a little homerun derby or practicing your drives.

+It's only 9 holes, but plays well and pretty quickly if you only have abit of time
+Tee to hole placement is pretty good, a lot of dog-leg rights
+Hole 9 is a pretty good long tunnel shot
^Needs next tee markers
^Once upon a time there were painted 2x4's in the ground to signal 'the tee', those are gone. You can still tell by 'wear' the area you need to stand
^Actually they have the room for atleast 9 more baskets, would be nice to see that!
^I have played this course many, many, many, ma ...

Descent 9 hole course.. you can tell that a lefty designed it, so bring a couple forehand shots. Great baskets, dirt bads with posts. You can throw towards the practice basket after 9 to finish and play it as a 10 holer..

Used to be a toss at the wooden post old style course. Much improved. Really good for a quick round. Built into a cramped corner of a larger park, sandwiched between a softball field, an airport, and the road. Easy to find, large sign out front. Really well laid out for such a small space. This section of the park is dedicated to just disk golf. Dirt tees, paths already well worn. No trash cans except at the beginning of the course, but the amount of bottles and cans I find is staggering. People ...

Fun short course could be better with signs and tees etc...

That this course has a C+ rating is a total joke. It's hard to believe anyone has been there since 2012. We never found the 1st hole fairway or basket. We only found 5 baskets located in random places in thick woods. The perhaps the narrow walking trails (not really near any baskets) are some sort of fairway! We couldn't find anything that looked like a whole so resorted to just finding the baskets, but as stated only found 5. Fail. Won't be back.

I actually like the design of each hole. Technical shots, a bit of distance. Problems have to do with bad tee boxes (need more than a 2X4 toe board, and they need to be pointed in better directions on a couple of holes) and lack of signage directing between holes. If there were a course map posted or hole signs this would be a wonderful little course along the lines of Lamar Park or Hughes Park. It's not something to drive out of the way to play, but, if you're in the area already, it's a pretty quick round that will challenge you at times.

Fun course to play. Tee boxes all busted or gone. I uploaded a map from the park web site.

They were putting in concrete tees today, literally as we are playing, always a great addition to a course. Also, good tee signs & wood chips lining the fairways and paths between holes. Plus it’s right next to an airport and I like watching planes, cool little course.

Just added 10 more holes! Nice course with views of Mona lake on couple of holes

Good course for touch throws. Like the flow but if youre not familiar with the tee pad locations its confusing. Baskets on first 10 should match the back baskets especially because theyre better quality but still happy overall

The front 10 is short and wooded with woodchip trails. The rough is very forgiving. The majority of holes are right to left. Well maintained with cement pads although navigation can be tricky due to inadequate next hole signage. Relatively new cement pads and decent baskets.Overall a fun course to play. Didn’t play the back 10, but I hear it’s lacking cement pads.
